Monday Memo: Jan. 21
In Luke 5:1-11, Jesus teaches from Simon’s boat, then tells him to go out into the deeper water for a big catch. At first, Simon Peter’s reluctant. “We’ve been hard at work all night and have caught nothing.”
I can identify with Simon’s initial hesitation. It takes courage to step into unknown or difficult places. Sometimes the work can be exhausting and seem fruitless. But as he listens and acts – Peter is changed. He starts to come into his own.
Who knows what God will lead us into? Some of the possibilities feel risky. But it’s in answering that call, pulling in that catch, that we discover God’s abundance - and our truest selves.
